Using the appropriate tool, cut along the bottom of the window separating the window from urethane adhesive. Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the window. Do this from inside the vehicle. While cutting from inside the vehicle, reposition the tool to cut the urethane adhesive along the top and both sides to release the window completely.
